Severe Flooding in Southern Thailand Claims 29 Lives
Severe flooding caused by adverse weather in Southern Thailand has led to 29 fatalities and displaced approximately 33,000 people. The disaster, which began in late November, affects over 155,000 households across multiple provinces. Authorities warn of impending heavy rainfall until Thursday, as neighboring Malaysia reports five additional deaths related to flooding. Scientists link the increasing intensity of monsoons and flooding to climate change, raising concerns for future events. Past floods in Thailand have caused extensive damage, including the devastating floods of 2011, which cost billions in damages.
